Viewing screen history

There are three methods to view and search through the screen history:

Using the toolbar buttons
Using the menu bar options
Using the History Pad window

When viewing the screen history, the background of the screen changes to the color set in the History Background Color field on the Screen History tab. This allows users to easily distinguish between active and historical screens.

To use the toolbar buttons:

Screen history toolbar buttons can be added to the toolbar to search through screen history. Seven screen history buttons are available:

Table 1: Screen history toolbar buttons
Name	Description
History Pad	Toggles the History Pad window on and off.
First Screen	Displays the first screen history window.
Prev Screen	Displays the previous screen history window.
Next Screen	Displays the next screen history window.
Last Screen	Displays the last screen history window.
History Cancel	Cancels screen history and returns to the active screen.
History Clear	Clears all of the screens from the screen history buffer. This will also clear the screens in the History Pad window.

The screen history toolbar buttons are not displayed by default. Refer to the appropriate topic for more information on adding the screen history buttons to the toolbar:

To use the menu bar:
Use the View → Screen History → First, Prev, Next, and Last menu options to search through the screen history.
To use the History Pad:
To toggle the History Pad window on and off, click View → Screen History → History Pad or click the History Pad toolbar button.

To dock the History Pad window on either side of the Rocket TE display, docking must be enabled in the power pad settings. When enabled, size the History Pad window to the desired width, then drag it to the edge of the screen.

The History Pad window contains the same toolbar buttons as above, except for the History Pad button. Use the toolbar buttons to navigate through screen history. When the History Pad window has the focus, the user can also navigate through the screen history screens using the mouse wheel, page up and down keys, Ctrl+Home, and Ctrl+End.

When the History Pad window does not have the focus, the keys mapped to screen history navigate the user inside the Rocket TE terminal windows. These operate the same whether the History Pad is enabled or not.
